That we get to watch any game we want with the CBS/TNT/TBS/TruTV package throughout the tournament is awesome. What sucks is that the NBA guys have no idea in many cases as to what they are even discussing. Charles Barkley just stated that Kentucky should win as Wisconsin will be lucky to get to 60. The Badgers average 73 points per game. My guess is that he didn't watch Wisconsin play one game all season long.

Get some announcers that know what the fuck they are talking about.

8th seed Villanova is the lowest to win the championship. UConn is the first #7 seed to advance to the final.

That would be the lowest seeded final, I think, in at least 40 years...still true even allowing for KY being seeded too low.

Why isn't it on CBS though? Was it like this last year?

Part of the TBS/TNT deal. TBS will be carrying the national title game in 2016 as well. Sucks, but it's part of the give-and-take of being able to get to watch all the games with the package. So in that sense, I am ok with many of the announcers fucking sucking. At least we get to choose which game to watch in the earlier rounds.

Not that I disagree, but KY would have beaten Wichita St, Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin...if they won it all I'd say they proved they were the best team.

Gotcha. I don't watch pre and post game shit, so I don't really care.

Nantz does his thing, doesn't bother me. Greg Anthony is meh and I've always liked Kerr.

I like Barkley and Smith doing NBA. But they are terrible doing NCAA. As you said, casual cbb fans at best.

They could have easily lost those games as well, one game scenario they got it done though. Doesn't prove to me that they are the better team or the best team. May be in the minority on that but I've played enough to know sometimes it's a make or miss game.

I don't really watch it, either. I don't give a fuck about their useless analysis (read: guessing). But having to listen to how stupid some of those guys are for any length of time is beyond obnoxious. It's as if they do absolutely no homework at all.

I thought it was pretty good idea as on TBS was Nantz but on TNT was the Florida announcers and Tru TV had the UConn announcers.

I love Charles. I could listen to him talk about anything, dont care how dumb he is.

Kerr/Anthony is a HUGE upgrade over Bill P or Clark Kellogg. In fact, when Clark Kellogg and his dumbass analogies finally left the FF, it instantly became better than it has ever been.

I realized that a long time ago...and it's not just Barkley & friends, either. Most of the tv "analysts" aren't paid to be correct.

That's why it's not trivial that they would have gone thru 4 legit title contenders just to reach the finals. They run that gauntlet, they're the best team, no doubt.

Agree with this. Winning six games in a row in 19 days with all the pressure of playing on the sport's biggest stage is a feat deserving of being called the best team.
